LONDON — An extremely rare 1937 Bugatti has been found in a garage in England and is expected to draw a record price when it is auctioned in Paris next month.
The dusty but intact Bugatti Type 57S Atalante is one of only 17 ever made. It had a top speed of 130 mph at a time when most cars could only go half as fast.
The powerful two-seater car from the heyday of the celebrated Bugatti marquee is expected to be sold for more than 3 million pounds ($4.3 million).
Something SingDing could drive to the Hamptons.

It looks like I'm not the only one browsing the internet when I should be sleeping. I don't feel well & was researching my symptoms.
Why were you up DRs DerBrucer & Singdaw?
-
well I must say I would not wish chemo or its side effects on my worst enemy - not even the McBeths
I sincerely pray that Laura's sister has an easier time with her treatment than I am.
Apparently I am a delicate flower and everything they do causes utmost distress to my system - I always thought I was the strong rugged type so I am quite suprosed by this turn of events. My sympathies are (and yours should be) really with Vixdad who has the burden of caring for me.
-
I am happy to report that the Vixter was invited out to a hotel sleepover party (the one I usually co-chaperone every January) for her friend's birthday. They were going to be swimming and eating pizza and doing beauty makeovers. A nice change of pace for her after 2 weeks of fetching and carrying for an often irritable mother.
-
and now I am exhausted from all this typing - VIBES for all what needs 'em
-
DR Vixmom, I'm sorry it has been so rough for you.
-
CONTINUED VIBES FOR THE ENTIRE VIXFAMILY!!!
-
I'm going to attempt to get some sleep. DR Vixmom, may your have a good day.

Awwww. Continued prayers for the entire Vix family. I know it's hard, but the icky feeling means the nasty cancer is being killed.

(Hey, someone had to say it! And remember, no groaning allowed, although this time we might permit a few grunts.)

Hang in there. We are all thinking about you.

The casting of Matt Smith as The Doctor in Doctor Who certainly makes things... well, interesting.
For example, if they bring back Alex Kingston as River Song (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Alex_Kingston), it will pump a real cougar dynamic in her relationship with the Doctor, since Kingston is a full TWENTY YEARS older than Smith! :o
At least they're sticking to a "rule" that I noted some time back, that no two actors playing the Doctor have ever had the same first name. (In the canon stories - the Cushing films don't count.)
William, Patrick, Jon, Tom, Peter, Colin, Sylvester, Paul, Christopher, David and now Matt.
Say them all together quickly, and it all sounds rather chummy, don't it! ;D

Hmmm re: the chicken salad sandwich.
I wasn't even thinking how to cook the chicken. I often grill it. But would not do it for chicken salad. Sometimes i just bake it. I've never poached chicken before.
The food processor sounds easy.

Ben, wash that bowl!

Poach GENTLY, just at a simmer. Otherwise, the heat squeezes all the juicy goodness out of the chicken.

Good morning, all! Another day of Toyland edits, followed by a gift day with the Raines family before Charlotte and I run off to the 3 pm showing of BENJAMIN BUTTON.

So sorry to read about the difficulties of your treatment, DR Vixmom. I hope things get easier for you in the days and weeks to come.

The last review DVD in my queue is WITHOUT A PADDLE: NATURE'S CALLING which I learned from reading the press release that came along with it is actually a made-for-DVD requel to the 2004 theatrical movie. It looks very lame, and I've decided that I'm taking another day off. Since I have nothing else in the offing (nothing came in the mail yesterday), I should have no trouble doing this one tomorrow instead of today.
-
ANother reason I want to take today off is that I now have quite a bit of stuff on the DVR. I recorded the season premiere of THE STARTER WIFE from the Universal HD channel. (My cable service doesn't offer USA-HD which is one reason why I wasn't eager to watch it when it premiered in the fall). So, I'll watch this first episode while I eat lunch today and decide if I want to continue with the series off of Universal-HD.
I have JUMPER which I recorded off HBO-HD last night.
I recorded Charles Laughton's Oscar-winning THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII this morning off TCM. I haven't seen the film in decades, so primitive though it is, I'm eager to see it again.
Tonight on TCM is THE TALES OF HOFFMAN which I've never seen. I don't have the Criterion disc of it, and watching this at some point will help me decide if I want to buy it.
-
And I still would like to watch ROSE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE at some point today. Eager to watch the Alice Faye films in that latest set dedicated to her.
-
Quiet day today, but some work is starting to trickle in for tax season, so I think i'll get a jump on that
-
I am Kerry. I am here. I am tranquil.
"Good Morning, All, " he said with quiet serenity.
I'll check in later, y'all.

Tonight on TCM is THE TALES OF HOFFMAN which I've never seen. I don't have the Criterion disc of it, and watching this at some point will help me decide if I want to buy it.
I'm very much a fan of this film. I love Offenbach and it's a reasonable account of his original opera. Some of the sequences are really brilliant and some look like the work of a demented and really gay window dresser on an unlimited budget. At times the English translation sounds very Gilbert&Sullivan-y but Sir thomas Beecham and the cast - both dubbed abd danced - is quite excellent.

Quoth George yesterday:
About 10 or 12 years ago, a friend of mine wanted to do some drag and I suggested the first two songs. He liked them very much. I also love the last song.
"Night, Make My Day" from Casino Paradise
"No Man Left for Me" from The Will Rogers Follies
'I Had a Ball" (the solo version) from I Had a Ball
Shouldn't that last song have more properly been "I Had Two Balls"?
-
I must agree with DR ELMORE....I have the Criterion TALES OF HOFFMAN and enjoy it very much!
And yes it is me, I decided to use an avatar that could at least be SEEN. I chose Indiana's own Mr James Dean since his birthday is coming up this week.
-
GRRRRRRRRRRR.....I haven't even received my booklets from the Federal Government OR the State Government yet. But I don't have my W-2's or 1099's yet either.

I am also looking forward to the WORLD DANCE program this evening. My fingers are crossed that we see some outstanding, interesting dances and some good people!

The Man From Hong Kong sounded familar to me, but I didn't remember seeing it under that title. So I did some web surfing and the title "THE DRAGON FLIES" came up. They must of tried to cash in on the Bruce Lee movies Enter the Dragon and the Return of the Dragon.
Jimmy Wang Yu was the star. He is almost a forgotten star of the genre here in the USA. He was one of the first Hong Kong fight stars that had control of his films. He directed and produced many of his films
He also did a series of films as the one-armed boxer. He did one my guilty pleasure movies THE MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILOTINE
His popularity seemed to decline (although he continued to work until the early 90's) in the late 70's
They also used one of his films for Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, They digital removed him and replaced with Steve Orderkirk (sp?)
-
I downloaded a documentary about the making of DOCTOR ATOMIC which seems to concentrate on the first production in California.....haven't watched it yet.

Well, Mr. Boxer (no I haven't thought of a name, DR Jose) is still here.
I posted him on the pounds web site for lost dogs last night before I went to bed and on Craigs list this morning. I've already heard from the pound (I didn't know they worked on Sunday). They had someone who is looking for a lost boxer but it is a female.
After talking with her for awhile we decided that the best thing I can do is turn him into the pound (now don't panic--there's a good couple of reasons) on Wednesday when they are open until 6.
The good reasons being:
1) they will keep him for 5 days to give the owner a chance to claim him.
2) most people who really are looking for their lost dog go to the pound.
3) I can put my name on him as first pick if no one does claim him.
4) If no one does claim him then the pound will call me and if I say I want him (and I will), they will give him a checkup, test for heart worms, give him his rabies shot, his tag, a micro chip and they will fix him. The cost to me would only be the $75.00 adoption fee.
5) Also if I adopt him from the pound, he will legally be mine.
So unless someone claims him before Wednesday, that is what I plan on doing.
-
Vixmom, I'm pulling for you. One day at a time. This, too, shall pass. These medicines have terrible side effects, but they DO work. And when the course of treatment is over, it's OVER. And the side effects stop. Stay the course, and watch for any positive or pleasing or fun or endearing moment - vibes to your whole family. Love and light surround you.
-
Today I get to go to rehab!!! Some of the most fun of my week. Drive up the coast to Malibu, on this beautiful day... then drive up the mountain to the mansion... walk through the gardens... lay out art supplies, greet the addicts, play with crayons, while listening to birdsongs. Ah....
-
Isn't it funny how your life can take an unexpected turn in the space of just 24 hours?
I was going to take Sheena to the dog park but she didn't really need to go. Her and Mr. Boxer are wearing each other out in the back yard. He grabbed one of her toys and she was chasing him all around the yard trying to get it back. All in fun--no problems with fighting or anything like that.
His only problems are that he likes to jump up on me (I will stop that if he becomes my dog) and he's trying to do the nasty with Sheena. She puts him in his place when he does that. Thank goodness she is spayed!
-
Danise!!! Oh, my fingers are crossed that you'll legally have your dawg!!! The only thing that can get in the way of a permanent bond is that he will find his family again, which would be a blessing for him and them... and having him at the shelter means you are not falling in love every minute of every day. I am a fan of the Meant To Be...
-
Do we still have to resize our photos before we post them or do they still put us into widescreen? I took some photos of Mr. Boxer and the before photos of the work that is going to be done.

Well, I find it so funny that I made my mind up NOT to get another dog and that when I WAS thinking about getting one I considered a boxer because Sheena seemed to get along with them at the dog park. And BAM here is one delivered to my doorstep. Ok God, I get the message! :)
It did show me that Sheena really does need a friend. I hate leaving her all alone when I go to work or out on Saturday to do the shopping. Even if this doesn't work out, I think I will keep an eye out on the pound website for a boxer and I will adopt one.

-
DR Danise, it sounds to me like you are doing the right thing. The fact that they will call you if he isn't claimed in 5 days is great and he will get a check-up and be neutered. And if there is a family out there who are very sad about losing their dog and they find him, at least you know that Sheena is ready for a playmate.

I wanted say that I'm sorry it will be Wednesday before I can take him to the pound but that's the only night they say open until 6. I can't make it before then.
If this had happened on Friday night, I could have taken him on Saturday. Oh, well.

Lots of hainsies/kimlets here, but not lots of postings. They must be busy reading. I don't really want to read this VERY long script today, but alas, I must. It's over 130 pages - and it's a musical - and all the songs aren't in the script. Which means that going in this is going to be close to three hours long.

Why I loathe the media - the headline:
History Buff
Gunned Down
Eccentric Student Dressed as Nazi
Shot Seven Times by Seattle Police
The story? He was aiming a rifle with a bayonet attached at the police and refused, after several requests, to put it down. They'd been summoned by neighbors who complained of rifle shots. The young man was dressed in a German military uniform. Later, alcohol and live ammunition and a lot of WWII memorabilia was found. His mother described the boy as peaceful and loving, though.

Sunday afternoon greetings! It's a dreary day here in SW Ohio. DH Richard and I just got home from Cincinnati, where he presided over Morning Prayer, we had lunch at PF Chang's with Rob and Mary Linda, and then went to the main Cincinnati library for Richard to pick up a book that was being held for him. We're going to watch the final 2 episodes of Cranford and enjoy our Christmas tree before I get to take it down after Tuesday (Epiphany, you know).
-
DR Vixmom - sorry about your discomfort. Don't hesitate to visit here when you feel down - we're all just glad to see you and are ready to send mega-vibes whenever you need them.

I'm sure none of us doubted the DR Vixter would be a great help during this time. :)
No need to apologize for your post this morning, and then I wasn't there all alone.
-
It's drizzled again, but so far no heavy rain since the early morning hours. It's really very dreary here weather-wise.
-
Am I the only one who read the notes and thought that BK started watching CHAPTER TWO?
Okay, it was just me.
DR WEL reads the notes. There are two of you. I think that is all. (Unless DR FJL is sticking to his New Year's resolution)
-
I finished watching an NCIS episode that I had started last night before my company arrived. It was about a high school student taking his homeroom class hostage with a bomb strapped to his chest. Of course, as the story developed, it was a lot more complicated than that making for a very satisfying episode.
-
Wow, I wouldn't mind attending the February Ray Court's show just to meet Malcolm McDowell and Paul Peterson.
So A Time machine is what you are after.
Peterson has more in common in with DR Jose - he couldn't find his keys either. (Or is that too obscure)
-
Tom - Vixdad was just wondering how your weather was, and here you are - so how is your weather today?
-
Next, I watched THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII. I hadn't seen the film in decades, the last time probably on TCM, but over the intervening years, someone has done MASSIVE restoration on the film. The last time I saw it, it was horribly scratched, with contrast so high that you could see no details at all as the whites were so blown out as to make the picture almost unwatchable.
Now, it's remarkably good with only a few scratches but a much better overall picture than I've ever seen. The sound is still terribly hissy and fluttery, but for a 1933 film, it's not too awful.
Laughton's wonderful, of course, but I was most impressed with Robert Donat who I didn't even remember was in the movie. I must do some research on him later this afternoon. Where on earth did he get such a magnificent pair of legs? Was he an athlete (I thought I remember reading once that he had a weak heart or something), but he had to have done something (swimming, skating, soccer, dancing) to get calves as well developed as his were.

Next, I watched JUMPER from HBO-HD recorded last night. I did like the sci-fi premise, and I really enjoyed Jamie Bell's performance and some of the action scenes were very impressive. The love story didn't interest me at all, and there was Samuel L. Jackson as a bad guy once again (so tired or seeing him in everything). So, not an overall positive impression, but it did have its moments.
-
To finish out the afternoon, I began another NCIS episode. The first segment involved finding four dead bodies frozen in a lake. That's as far as the first segment has taken me. I'll finish it up and watch THE STARTER WIFE when I go back downstairs.
-
Hello Vixmom. The weather is quite mild! It is certainly not the heat of summer that we are usually get at this time. I'm quite happy with that.
Your voicing of your concerns and traumas helps you. It also helps us realise how insignificant out little concerns are!
That we could all be so strong.
Hugs and prayers to you and the Family Vix.
-
Good Afternoon!
Well, since I suddenly had the urge to do a bit of cleaning and organizing a little while ago, well... That's what I did.
The good news: I can see my desk again.
The bad news: I can see my desk again.

Not to me.

Oh, and the real bad news...

But did you find your keys DR Uncle JoJo.
-
Back from a later than usual long jog - just couldn't get motivated. Now I'm hungry, so it's off to Gelson's for some foodstuffs, which I'll then eat whilst finishing a motion picture on DVD. Then I'll settle down to write at least four or five pages. I decided exactly what to write whilst jogging and have made those notes, so I'll be ready and rarin' to go when I dig in.
-
Hurray! It is raining in Phoenix. A very light, slow, long drizzle. Perfect for wildflower germination.
-
Have a few computer chores to attend to, and then I'll head down to clean the master bathroom and put away the already folded laundry. Then, it's back to the viewing arena for the rest of NCIS episode, THE START WIFE, THE TALES OF HOFFMAN, and tonight's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. I doubt I'll be able to squeeze in tonight's BROTHERS & SISTERS, too, but we'll see.

Spoo!

Since the film is public domain, I've always wondered why its never been released onto DVD.
I haven't seen it for years either, but I recall that when I watched it, I wished that there was some sort of music score. It really needs one.

I am still agog at the idea of the show that DR DRUXY mentioned yesterday....the one that featured Pat Harrington, Eddy Arnold, and Billy deWolfe.
It wasn't Pat Harrington. It was Hugo Montenegro.
Hugo Montenegro, Billy DeWolfe and Eddy Arnold?! What kinf of gig would those three have done together?
-
Well FJL, it's just you and me at the moment. I think your show idea scared everyone else off.
-
It scared you off too!
-
"Ta Ta for now," he said to an empty room.
-
I;m back. Just went to check Colony for zip. I mean, check Colony for "Zip."
-
It's apparently in a book called "Broadway Vamps & Sirens," which has an intersting mix of songs. So i won't have to get the whole Pal joey score.
-
Kerry - Sorry if it looked like I was still here. i had opened a new window to check the Colony Records site and forgot that I was still logged on here.
-
Back from Gelson's. All I wanted was three chicken tenders - there were fourteen people ahead of me in the deli section - all these awful, spoiled Studio City mothers who couldn't ever be bothered to actually lift a finger and cook for their families. The two of them basically wiped out the twenty-five chicken tenders that were there - so I disgustedly tossed my number and got some Jambalaya from the hot food section, along with some eggs just in case the Jambalaya is no good. And I got some cucumber roll, too. I should have just bailed and gone to Subway but, you know, I was there.
-
I hate moving. The worst thing about it is clearing out and going through all the crap you've accumulated for the past 30 years.
And, my wife is a stern task master.
"Do you really need this?...How about this?"
:(
She sounds like Keith ;D
I did that when I left my house at the lake. Not only did I have what I had accumulated but boxes and boxes of what my mother had saved for me over the years. I had a contractor friend bring over a dump truck and just started throwing. I didn't let my mother come over while I did it. I threw out a lot of junk. Nothing valuable or family stuff. It wasn't easy but man it felt good when I was done.

Quoth George yesterday:
About 10 or 12 years ago, a friend of mine wanted to do some drag and I suggested the first two songs. He liked them very much. I also love the last song.
"Night, Make My Day" from Casino Paradise
"No Man Left for Me" from The Will Rogers Follies
'I Had a Ball" (the solo version) from I Had a Ball
Shouldn't that last song have more properly been "I Had Two Balls"?
Well, since Karen Morrow sings the song, I don't think so. ;)
-

At some point I just about always find I miss the junk I no longer have.
-
I could use a few vibes. I really need a morning appointment with a doctor. I've never had one before but I'm pretty sure I have a bladder infection.
-
Aww, Jane. I hope you feel better soon.
-
I can't even remember any of the junk I have thrown out. Except for the dryer. But that's because it was a real chore to move to the alley.
-
Thanks DR Laura. It kind of caught me by surprise at 3:00 this morning.
-

well I must say I would not wish chemo or its side effects on my worst enemy - not even the McBeths
I sincerely pray that Laura's sister has an easier time with her treatment than I am.
Apparently I am a delicate flower and everything they do causes utmost distress to my system - I always thought I was the strong rugged type so I am quite suprosed by this turn of events. My sympathies are (and yours should be) really with Vixdad who has the burden of caring for me.
~~~Continued Vibes for Vixmom, Vixdad and The Vixter!!~~~

And Vibes to you DR Vixmom!

Mr. Boxer is a very lucky dog to have run into your house DR Danise! It is obviouse that it has been awhile since someone cared about him and you have enough caring to go around to several doggies!
-
Thank you DRs George & MBarnum.
-
Sorry DR DRUXY....as I was typing the names, something didn't sound right.....and indeed the actual LINE UP is even more ... eclectic.
I understood the Paul Peterson reference DR TOMovOZ, as you knew I would. I loved the episode of Donna Reed when Paul sang the song and it was acted out with a girl eventually ending up with a stack of STUFF taller than Paul next to her.
-
All vibes to the Vixens.
-
I will probably watch the first hour of HOFFMAN before switching to the World Dance Show with Michael Flatley....LORD OF THE DANCE!!!
-
MR BK if there are more than five people in front of me anywhere - I bail......
What is this throwing away stuff that everyone is talking about? I don't get the concept of the thing...is it some new ritual....or it's a technical term you picked up in the theatrical profession, no doubt.
-
I'm wondering if DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES will be on time here, since for some reason the canadian station showing it has football till 8pm. And another show from 8-9pm. It's odd because the whole season when TAR was on we never had football on this station!
Also for some reason, this same canadian station is showing THE MENTALIST (tues's show) at 10pm. Usually their sister station shows it (i don't get the sister station). So i guess i'll be checking the football game to see what time it ends!
-
Tonight on TCM is THE TALES OF HOFFMAN which I've never seen. I don't have the Criterion disc of it, and watching this at some point will help me decide if I want to buy it.
I'm very much a fan of this film. I love Offenbach and it's a reasonable account of his original opera. Some of the sequences are really brilliant and some look like the work of a demented and really gay window dresser on an unlimited budget. At times the English translation sounds very Gilbert&Sullivan-y but Sir thomas Beecham and the cast - both dubbed abd danced - is quite excellent.
There's a difference?
-
Vibes to DR Jane. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Danise, the pound is a good idea -- that is where people go to look for their dogs. Then if the owner's don't come, they will let you have the dog for a LOT less than if you paid the vet yourself.

-
Lots of hainsies/kimlets here, but not lots of postings. They must be busy reading. I don't really want to read this VERY long script today, but alas, I must. It's over 130 pages - and it's a musical - and all the songs aren't in the script. Which means that going in this is going to be close to three hours long.
Those pages had better be double-spaced.

It was a show at, as I recall, Melodyland in Anahiem...way back in the 1960s.

VIBES FOR DR JANE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If it's just a bladder infection, a prescription will clear it up quickly
-
While waiting for the laundry, I decided to venture down the basement where I ended up hanging half the wall paper I will put up in the hallway. I think I like it. I got this great spray stuff to put on the back of the paper to activate the adhesive. Man does it work and it isn't messy at all. I'll finish it up later this week.
-
The paper is really good quality Surprising for $5 a roll
-
Finished watching a motion picture and eating mediocre Jambalaya and a cucumber roll - not what I wanted at all, but thanks to those lazy Studio City mothers, who have to buy TEN chicken tenders each, that is what I was stuck with. Oh, well. I shall now try and get some writing done.
-
Hi, everyone.
Alas, althogh I laid out the camera to bring with me this morning, I forgot it.
So no new "3 Kings" shots. :(
-
***ALL KINDS OF VIBES*** for DR vixmom and family!!!!

Oh, you have the power all right, DR TCB.
Just of what, we're not exactly sure.
But you definitely have the power.

That's ok, Singdaw. I'm sure derBrucer will post last year's king pic.
-
No doubt! :)

I really enjoyed BENJAMIN BUTTON, one of the saddest films I've ever seen. I thought the score was both evocative and appropriate and the cast quite good. Charlotte thought little of Miss Blanchet's dancing but she did like the movie.
Now to catch up on things.
-
TCB - it is snowing again ;)
fear not, though, it'll be gone by morning

TWISTIN' AND ISOLDE - my new play about a page 8 dance

Just finished watching DOSTANA....I enjoyed it. It wasn't the Indian homosexual revolution that some had hoped it to be, but it was a fun time pass. Pretty much what that CHUCK AND LARRY GET MARRIED movie probably was (I haven't yet seen it...although my niece and her husband loved it).
The movie is colorful and full of pretty people and some really good character actors...the aunt and the mom were hilarious! Neha's gay boss was pretty funny as well...of course that actor is like that character in every movie he makes regardless of whether the character is straight or gay.
In fact I have noticed this about Indian films...they have many characters that I would have guessed to be gay, but they aren't meant to be...maybe that is because most gay people in India still get married and live a "straight" existence and so many guys who would be considered "flaming" in our culture, are still considered straight in their culture.
Anywho, the movie was still fun if you don't take it seriously.

My other Bollywood movie today was the hit film JAANE TU...YA JAANE NA. What a wonderful suprise this movie was. I had avoided it because I thought it was just another college romance fluff piece that would not interest me much, but after hearing the soundtrack I got more and more curious and then I saw a couple of the musical numbers and decided that the cast looked like they really had some personality...and after watching it I was blown away. The movie stars Imran Khan in his very first film role. He is definately headed for stardom...he has "it"!
The rest of the cast was also very good and the script was endearing and you were really rooting for the characters. I am really glad that I watched it. It was much better then the average Bollywood film.
A big part of why I enjoyed it so much was because the kids reminded me of the type of people I would have been friends with in High School or college (had I gone to college).

I thought Pat Harrington died. Maybe Pat Hingle is still alive. I always liked Pat Hingle's performances.

Even though the snow continues to fall, even though all the cars, houses, and streets are now covered, even though the sky looks like your typical snow sky; I am now going to bed safe in the assurances of my DDIL Ann that all the snow will be gone by morning.

I got to the TV too late to watch TALES OF HOFFMANN on TCM, so I played IT ALL CAME TRUE instead. Cute movie, though the script probably could have used a little tightening and it's slightly misguided in it's handling of the Humphrey Bogart character.
-
Almost time for the Dance Show.
How many times, oh Lord, how many times....is NBC going to recycle unfunny clips from SNL?
Until they stop drawing ratings. Those clip shows have done better for them than lots of their scripted shows.

I finished the NCIS episode I had started about the dead marine and three gang members with him. Very twisty little story, but there was a good bit of gay-baiting talk about the use of moisturizers and lotions that really turned me off.

...Or I could head out for a drink with some friends.
But now that I'm back... ;)
-
Next I watched THE STARTER WIFE. Just like with the miniseries, Judy Davis steals the show. I love her. The straight actor playing gay does a fine job, but his storyline has already been done - on the first season of DIRT. I much prefer the actor cast as Debra's ex-husband to the fella now on HOUSE (Peter Jacobson) who played it in the miniseries.
-
While I was waiting for TALES OF HOFFMAN to come on, I watched the first half of GEORGE CUKOR: THE MEN WHO MADE THE MOVIES. I got him through HOLIDAY.
-
*With all the shows closing today on Broadway and off-Broadway, there were a couple of gatherings/parties/after-parties. :)
-
Aww.. Cute Boxer!
-
THE TALES OF HOFFMAN was beautifully made and well sung and danced. And there was Candide himself as the lead!
I doubt I'll buy the DVD, though. I can't imagine needing to watch it often enough to incur that expense. It shows up on TCM enough to satisfy any need I might have to rewatch it.
-
Darn, I see a photo.
It's in your cache.
-
Finished my second motion picture, which I really enjoyed, and am thinking of going for three. If not, I guess I can read the rest of this VERY long script.
-
I have to laugh every time I see "The Tales of Hoffman" That's also the title of a book about The Chicago 8 Trial. I'm aware of the Tales of Hoffman you are referring to, but I keep imagining both Abbie Hoffman and Judge Julius Hoffman singing and dancing....

Next came DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. The stories were OK this week, but that crude mother getting no reaction at all from her doctor son or his groom to be - PLEASE! Edie's reaction to Dave's news was a little strong, wasn't it?

Just like a lawyer!

I watched the first ten minutes of BROTHERS & SISTERS, but didn't get to more of it due to "that movie" running past 10 p.m. I'll finish it tomorrow.

Did I mention that the burn on my wrist is in the shape of Australia?
-
Better go to bed. I've been staying up late and sleeping in late and I have a very busy day tomorrow. Night

Shane Fenton starts it and Billy Fury finishes it up.....what might have happened if Sam Katzman had made a movie in England in 1961.

Did I spot Marion Lorne in that clip?
Or a reasonable fax.

Do you see Sydney?

And if not Sydney, then how about Melbourne? Upper Beaconsfield?

I was watching THIS IS YOUR LIFE Helen Shapiro.....the British version of the show....must have been taped ten years ago at least. Interesting to see.
One man who had been a disk jockey on a radio show with Helen came out and said: "Well of course we still get letter after letter at Radio Two still asking us to play Helen's songs. And it's been so long, that I barely recognize her handwriting...."
-
Quite disappointed in SUPERSTAR WALKERS OF THE WORLD. I didn't like either of the routines from the U.S. tonight.....
Electronic pop rock? And a "ballroom" duet that looked more like what Mickey Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield used to do at premieres.....
Liked the Australian group dancers and the South African gumboot dancers....and the Russian soloist was very good. The rest....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
-
THE RED SHOES.....
-
I saw THE RED SHOES on MGM-HD a couple of weeks ago. It was a poor quality print they had used for the transfer, but portions of it were still simply stunning in HD. HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN was also superb in HD.
-
Page Ten Dance!!!
-
I still think Lermentov is in love with Krasker and jealous because he married Vicky.
-
Now I guess I'll head down to bed. It WILL be a work day for me tomorrow.
Good night!
-
MR BK can you tell us if the new novel is one of a series or going in a different direction?
-
DR JOSE - I forget if I mentioned it, but I went ahead and ordered the DOCTOR ATOMIC dvd, even though it is the original production.....found it for $35 including shpg. from an Amazon.com dealer.
-
Did everyone get tickets for the show at MelodyLand? DR DRUXY says you can see Hugo Montenegro, Eddy Arnold, and Billy DeWolfe on the same bill.
I am still intrigued by the entire ordeal....er....I mean line up.
-
Escher was never better represented on British television....this is obviously where the Andersons got the idea to put Cliff Richard and the Shadows in Super Marionation.....

And once the Met's production is released on DVD next year, then you can run them side-by-side for a side-by-side comparison. ;)

Good night, All! See you in the morning!

And once Indianapolis Opera Co. does its production, I can forget about it altogether.

I think I see Dubbo

Well, I was just about to go to sleep when Boo went in my closet and hacked up a hairball. Luckily I has recently cleaned out the closet so she didn't get it on anything. Then I noticed that I really have a head ache. So I took an Aleve and am waiting for it to kick in before I go back to sleep.

Goodnight.

Cilla, I hope your headache goes away quickly. I can't get to sleep if I have a headache. :P
-
Thanks DR George, but it will go away, it's just from stiff muscles in my shoulders and from the work I've been doing in the basement. It's not a biggy, I just like to give the Aleve a little time to work while I'm sitting up.
think I'll try to go back to sleep now

Jrand, not quite ready to reveal what I'm writing, but it I had two different things I was thinking about and a couple of weeks ago, after thinking long and hard about it, I made what I think was the absolute right decision about which to go with. I'll get around to the other one, and maybe even this year.
